This book explores one of the most important uses of the land: the production of agriculture. Readers will learn that farms and ranches produce much more than food; but scientists, farmers, ranchers, and other landowners haven't solved conservation problems yet.
Coverage includes:
- How farmers manage to feed the world
- Why the United States' agriculture is such an incredible bargain
- The importance of soils and climate
- Why weeds are much more than a nuisance
- Renewable and non-renewable resources and sustainable agriculture
- Alternative farming techniques
- Why managing the land, water, and soil is a delicate balancing act
- Future issues, new technology and developments, and synthetic materials
- How the U.S. space program is currently involved in studies concerning agricultural issues on Earth and in space
- How agriculture can be used to create fuel in today's energy-hungry world.
